Music/Television Bluray

[Liquid Chud]

Is it gay nigger shit? All the DVDs my dad has aren't bluray. Some new Bluray movie releases are blatantly using AI upscaling as their flagship 4k remasters.

Slapping on some upscaling and calling it a “4K remaster” is more of a marketing move than a real restoration. Legitimate 4K Blu-ray remasters are excellent and surpass DVD quality in every way.

Do you think 4k is worth the hassle?

Depends how big your TV is. 40 inches or more then 4k is a must.

Bluray has a few advantages, but isn't always necessary for movies. Will agree it is VERY noticable of a difference when the movie or TV show is actually high quality on the disc, rather than a shitty AI upscale that is then claimed to be "le heckin 4K". These days, I still couldn't see myself using Bluray very much outside of a way to share files on a disc, since it is otherwise easier to just pirate then watch off of an HDD for me. 4 layer Blurays can have like 128GB per-disc, so if you could bulk-purchase 50~ for really cheap, you may get usage out of storage for that, similar to how you can get a ton of CDs and DVDs that are blank for rather cheap these days, which is surprisingly useful still if your frens all can play the discs.
